Safety Instructions

Use the following safety guidelines to help protect yourself and your computer.

When Using Your Computer

Do not operate your portable computer for an extended period of time with the base resting directly on your body. With extended operation, heat can potentially build up in the base. Allowing sustained contact with the skin could cause discomfort or, eventually, a burn.

■ Do not attempt to service the computer yourself. Always follow

installation instructions closely.

■ Do not carry a battery in your pocket, purse, or other container where

metal objects (such as car keys) could short-circuit the battery terminals. The resulting excessive current follow can cause extremely high temperatures and may result in damage from burns.

■ Be sure that nothing rests on your AC adapter's power cable and that

the cable is not located where it can be tripped over or stepped on.

■ Place the AC adapter in a ventilated area, such as a desk top or on the

floor, when you use it to run the computer or to charge the battery. Do not cover the AC adapter with papers or other items that will reduce cooling; also, do not use the AC adapter while it is inside a carrying case.

■ Use only the AC adapter and batteries that are approved for use with

this computer. Use of another type of battery or AC adapter may risk fire or explosion.

Satellite M100 iii

■ Before you connect the computer to a power source, ensure that the

voltage rating of the AC adapter matches that of the available power source.

115 V/60Hz in most of North and South America and some Far Eastern countries such as Taiwan.

100 V/50Hz in eastern Japan and 100 V/60Hz in western Japan. 230 V/50 Hz in most of Europe, the Middle East, and the Far East.

■ If you use an extension cable with your AC adapter, ensure that the total

ampere rating of the products that are plugged into it do not exceed the ampere rating of the extension cable itself.

■ To help avoid the potential hazard of electric shock, do not connect or

disconnect any cables or perform maintenance or reconfiguration of this product during an electrical storm.

■ When setting up the computer for work, place it on a level surface.

■ Do not dispose of batteries in a fire. They may explode. Check with

local authorities for disposal instructions.

■ When traveling, do not check the computer as baggage. You can put

your computer through an X-ray security machine, but never put your computer through a metal detector. If you have the computer checked by hand, be sure to have a charged battery available in case you are asked to turn on the computer.

■ When traveling with the hard drive removed from the computer, wrap

the drive in a non-conducting material, such as cloth or paper. If you have the drive checked by hand, be ready to install the drive in the computer. Your can put the hard drive through an X-ray security machine, but never put it through a metal detector.

■ When traveling, do not place the computer in overhead storage

compartments where it could slide around. Do not drop your computer or subject it to other mechanical shocks.

■ Protect your computer, battery, and hard drive from environmental

hazards such as dirt, dust, food, liquids, temperature extremes, and overexposure to sunlight.

■ When you move your computer between environments with very

different temperature and/or humidity ranges, condensation may form on or within the computer. To avoid damaging the computer, allow sufficient time for the moisture to evaporate before using the computer.

■ When you disconnect a cable, pull on its connector or on its strain relief

loop, not on the cable itself. As you pull out the connector, keep it evenly aligned to avoid bending any connector pins. Also, before you connect a cable make sure both connectors are correctly oriented and aligned.

■ Before you clean your computer, turn if off, unplug it from its power

source, and remove the battery.

■ Handle components with care. Hold a component such as a memory

module by its edges, not its pins.

iv Satellite M100

When using telephone equipment in conjunction with your computer, basic safety precautions should always be followed to reduce the risk of fire, electric shock and injury to persons, including the following:

■ Do not use this product near water, for example, near a bathtub, washing

bowl, kitchen sink or laundry tub, in a wet basement or near a swimming pool.

■ Avoid using a telephone (other than a cordless type) during an electrical

storm. There may be a remote risk of electric shock from lightning.

■ Do not use the telephone to report a gas leak in the vicinity of the leak.

■ Use only the power cord indicated in this manual.

■ Replace only with the same or equivalent type battery recommended by

the manufacturer.

■ Dispose of used batteries according to the manufacturer's instructions.

■ To reduce the risk of fire, use only No. 26 AWG or larger

telecommunication line cord.

Use only the battery pack that came with the computer or an optional battery pack. Use of the wrong battery could damage your computer.

TOSHIBA assumes no liability for any damage in such case.

Notes for Users in Australia and New Zealand

Modem warning notice for Australia

Modems connected to the Australian telecoms network must have a valid Austel permit. This modem has been designed to specifically configure to ensure compliance with Austel standards when the country/region selection is set to Australia.

The use of other country/region setting while the modem is attached to the Australian PSTN would result in your modem being operated in a noncompliant manner. To verify that the country/region is correctly set, enter the command ATI which displays the currently active setting.

To set the country/region permanently to Australia, enter the following command sequence:

■ AT%TE=1

■ ATS133=1

■ AT&F

■ AT&W

■ AT%TE=0

■ ATZ

Failure to set the modem to the Australia country/region setting as shown above will result in the modem being operated in a non-compliant manner. Consequently, there would be no permit in force for this equipment and the Telecoms Act 1991 prescribes a penalty of $12,000 for the connection of non-permitted equipment.

Satellite M100 xv

Notes for use of this device in New Zealand

■ The grant of a Telepermit for a device in no way indicates Telecom

acceptance of responsibility for the correct operation of that device under all operating conditions. In particular the higher speeds at which this modem is capable of operating depend on a specific network implementation which is only one of many ways of delivering high quality voice telephony to customers. Failure to operate should not be reported as a fault to Telecom.

■ In addition to satisfactory line conditions a modem can only work

properly if: a/ it is compatible with the modem at the other end of the call and b/ the application using the modem is compatible with the application

at the other end of the call - e.g., accessing the Internet requires suitable software in addition to a modem.

■ This equipment shall not be used in any manner which could constitute

a nuisance to other Telecom customers.

■ Some parameters required for compliance with Telecom's PTC

Specifications are dependent on the equipment (PC) associated with this modem. The associated equipment shall be set to operate within the following limits for compliance with Telecom Specifications:

a/ There shall be no more than 10 call attempts to the same number within any 30 minute period for any single manual call initiation, and

b/ The equipment shall go on-hook for a period of not less than 30 seconds between the end of one attempt and the beginning of the next.

c/ Automatic calls to different numbers shall be not less than 5 seconds apart.

■ Immediately disconnect this equipment should it become physically

damaged, and arrange for its disposal or repair.

■ The correct settings for use with this modem in New Zealand are as

follows: ATB0 (CCITT operation) AT&G2 (1800 Hz guard tone) AT&P1 (Decadic dialing make-break ratio =33%/67% ATS0=0 (not auto answer) ATS10=less than 150 (loss of carrier to hangup delay, factory default of

15 recommended) ATS11=90 (DTMF dialing on/off duration=90 ms) ATX2 (Dial tone detect, but not (U.S.A.) call progress detect)

■ When used in the Auto Answer mode, the S0 register must be set with

a value of 3 or 4. This ensures: (a) a person calling your modem will hear a short burst of ringing before

the modem answers. This confirms that the call has been successfully switched through the network.

(b) caller identification information (which occurs between the first and second ring cadences) is not destroyed.

xvi Satellite M100

■ The preferred method of dialing is to use DTMF tones (ATDT...) as this

is faster and more reliable than pulse (decadic) dialing. If for some reason you must use decadic dialing, your communications program must be set up to record numbers using the following translation table as this modem does not implement the New Zealand "Reverse Dialing" standard.

Number to be dialed: 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 Number to program into computer: 0 9 8 7 6 5 4 3 2 1 Note that where DTMF dialing is used, the numbers should be entered

normally.

■ The transmit level from this device is set at a fixed level and because of

this there may be circumstances where the performance is less than optimal. Before reporting such occurrences as faults, please check the line with a standard Telepermitted telephone, and only report a fault if the phone performance is impaired.

■ It is recommended that this equipment be disconnected from the

Telecom line during electrical storms.

■ When relocating the equipment, always disconnect the Telecom line

connection before the power connection, and reconnect the power first.

■ This equipment may not be compatible with Telecom Distinctive Alert

cadences and services such as FaxAbility. ( NOTE THAT FAULT CALL OUT CAUSED BY ANY OF THE ABOVE

CAUSES MAY INCUR A CHARGE FROM TELECOM )

General conditions

Wireless LAN and your Health

Wireless LAN products, like other radio devices, emit radio frequency electromagnetic energy. The level of energy emitted by Wireless LAN devices however is far less than the electromagnetic energy emitted by other wireless devices such as mobile phones.

Because Wireless LAN products operate within the guidelines found in radio frequency safety standards and recommendations, TOSHIBA believes Wireless LAN is safe for use by consumers. These standards and recommendations reflect the consensus of the scientific community and result from deliberations of panels and committees of scientists who continually review and interpret the extensive research literature.

In some situations or environments, the use of Wireless LAN may be restricted by the proprietor of the building or responsible representatives of the organisation. These situations may for example include:

■ Using the Wireless LAN equipment on board of aeroplanes

■ In any other environment where the risk of interference to other devices

or services is perceived or identified as harmful.

If you are uncertain of the policy that applies on the use of wireless devices in a specific organisation or environment (e.g. airports), you are encouraged to ask for authorisation to use the Wireless LAN device prior to turning on the equipment.

Safety Instruction for Wireless Products

If your computer has a wireless function, all safety instructions must be read carefully and must be fully understood, before you attempt to use it. This manual contains the safety instructions that must be observed in order to avoid potential hazards that could result in personal injuries or could damage your wireless products.

Limitation of Liability

For damage occurring due to an earthquake or thunder, fire beyond our responsibility, action by third party, other accident, intentional or accidental mistakes by a user, misuse or use under abnormal conditions, we do not take any responsibility.

For incidental damage (loss of business profit, business interruption, etc.) occurring due to use or disability of the product, we do not take any responsibility.

For damage occurring due to non observance of the contents described in the instruction manual, we do not take any responsibility.

Proper ambient conditions should also be maintained for the computer's operation. This section discusses the following topics:

■ General conditions

■ Placement of the computer and peripheral devices

■ Seating and posture

■ Lighting

■ Work habits

User’s Manual 3-1

General conditions

In general, if you are comfortable, so is your computer, but read the following to make sure your work site provides a proper environment.

■ Make sure there is adequate space around the computer for proper

ventilation.

■ Make sure the AC power cord connects to an outlet that is close to the

computer and easily accessible.

■ The temperature should be 5 to 35 degrees Centigrade (41 to 95 degrees

Fahrenheit) and the relative humidity should be 20 to 80 percent.

■ Avoid areas where rapid or extreme changes in temperature or humidity

may occur.

■ Keep the computer free of dust, moisture, and exposure to direct

sunlight.

■ Keep the computer away from heat sources, such as electric heaters.

■ Do not use the computer near liquids or corrosive chemicals.

■ Some components in the computer, including data storage media, can

be damaged by magnets. Do not place the computer near magnetic objects or bring magnetic objects close to the computer. Be careful of objects, such as stereo speakers, that produce strong magnetic fields during operation. Also, be careful with metal objects, such as bracelets, which can be inadvertently magnetized.

■ Do not operate the computer in close proximity to a mobile phone.

■ Leave ample ventilation room for the fan. Ensure that there are no

obstructions around any of the system inlets or exhaust vents.

Getting Started

Placement of computer

Position the computer and peripheral devices to provide comfort and safety.

■ Set the computer on a flat surface at a comfortable height and distance.

The display should be no higher than eye level to avoid eye strain.

■ Place the computer so that it is directly in front of you when you work

and make sure you have adequate space to easily operate other devices.

■ Allow adequate space behind the computer to let you freely adjust the

display. The display should be angled to reduce glare and maximize visibility.

■ If you use a paper holder, set it at about the same height and distance

3-2 Satellite M100

Seating and posture

The height of your chair in relation to the computer and keyboard as well as the support it gives your body are primary factors in reducing work strain.

Posture and positioning of the computer

■ Place your chair so that the keyboard is at or slightly below the level of

your elbow. You should be able to type comfortably with your shoulders relaxed.

■ Your knees should be slightly higher than your hips. If necessary, use a

foot rest to raise the level of your knees to ease pressure on the back of your thighs.

■ Adjust the back of your chair so it supports the lower curve of your spine.

■ Sit straight so that your knees, hips and elbows form approximately 90

degree angles when you work. Do not slump forward or lean back too far.

Getting Started

Lighting

Proper lighting can improve legibility of the display and reduce eye strain.

■ Position the computer so that sunlight or bright indoor lighting does not

reflect off the screen. Use tinted windows, shades or other screens to eliminate sun glare.

■ Avoid placing the computer in front of bright light that could shine directly

in your eyes.

■ If possible, use soft, indirect lighting in your computer work area. Use a

lamp to illuminate your documents or desk, but be sure to position the lamp so that it does not reflect off the display or shine in your eyes.

Satellite M100 3-3

Work habits

A key to avoiding discomfort or injury from repetitive strain is to vary your activities.

If possible, schedule a variety of tasks into your work day. If you must spend long periods at the computer, finding ways to break up the routine can reduce stress and improve your efficiency.

■ Sit in a relaxed posture. Good positioning of your chair and equipment

as described earlier can reduce tension in your shoulders or neck and ease back strain.

■ Vary your posture frequently.

■ Occasionally stand up and stretch or exercise briefly.

■ Exercise and stretch your wrists and hands a number of times during

the day.

■ Frequently, look away from the computer and focus your eyes on a

distant object for several seconds, for example 30 seconds every 15 minutes.

■ Take frequent short breaks instead of one or two long breaks, for

example, two or three minutes every half hour.

■ Have your eyes examined regularly and visit a doctor promptly, if you

suspect you might be suffering from a repetitive strain injury.

■ Please check every couple of months to ensure the fan inlets or exhaust

vents (see sections 2-4 and 2-6) are unobstructed. Clean them if necessary.

A number of books are available on ergonomics and repetitive strain injury or repetitive stress syndrome. For more information on these topics or for pointers on exercises for such stress points as hands and wrists, please check with your library or book vendor. Also refer to the computer's Safety Instruction Manual.

How the Swipe the Finger

Using the following steps when swiping fingers for fingerprint registration or authentication will help to minimize authentication failures:

1. Align the first joint of the finger to the center of the sensor. Lightly touch the sensor and swipe finger levelly towards you.

While lightly touching the sensor, swipe the finger towards you until the sensor surface becomes visible.

Ensure the center of the fingerprint is on the sensor when swiping the finger.

■ Avoid swiping with the finger stiff or pressed-on too hard

Fingerprint reading may fail if the center of the fingerprint is not touching on the sensor, or when finger is swiped while pressing hard. Make sure that the center of the fingerprint is touching the sensor before swiping.

■ Confirm the center of the fingerprint whirl before swiping

The thumb's fingerprint has a bigger whirl, which is prone to misalignment and distortions. This will cause difficulty in registration and a drop in the authentication success rate. Always confirm the center of the fingerprint whirl so that it is swiped along the centerline of the sensor.

■ When fingerprint reading is not successful

There is a possibility of authentication failures if the finger is swiped too quickly or too slowly. Follow the onscreen instructions to adjust the speed of the swipe.

■ Roaming over multiple channels

■ Card Power Management

■ Wired Equivalent Privacy (WEP) data encryption

Operating Basics

Security

1. TOSHIBA strongly recommends that you enable the WEP encryption function otherwise your computer could be left open to illicit access via the wireless LAN connection which may result in an intrusion that can lead to the theft or loss of stored data among other things. In addition, the owner of an Internet connection is responsible for all browsing, downloading, and uploading activities on that connection. Therefore, an unsecured wireless network connected directly to the Internet is an open invitation for outsiders to abuse your ISP account and privileges.

2. TOSHIBA is not liable for the eavesdropping on your data due to the use of the wireless LAN connection and any damage that may occur thereof.
